The IronPython team currently have legal issues distributing modified versions of the standard library (Dino can correct me if I'm wrong here).

It's actually not due to legal issues although we'd have to check w/ the lawyers if we wanted to do it. It's mainly that we don't want to ship a modified version of the standard library because it seems like it should be standard. It's also a little more convenient for us to not have to maintain a separate copy (although we do already do that for the tests).
